of Brooklyn, N.Y., gave up their right to a preliminary hearing Monday before District Judge Nancy Matos Gonzalez. A waiver at a preliminary hearing typically acknowledges that authorities have enough evidence to merit the charges.

After the hearing, Northampton County Assistant District Attorney Richard Pepper declined to comment.

Clarke, of the 800 block of Wyandotte Street, is free after posting $10,000 bail while Bracey remains in Northampton County Prison under $15,000 bail. Both are charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, theft and receiving stolen property. Bracey is also charged with harassment.

According to court records:

Carly Skellington told Bethlehem authorities she had been robbed by two people who took her cellphone and $135 from her purse.

Skellington said she was walking Aug. 15 on Asa Drive, just inside the campus boundary, when a man and woman — identified by police as Bracey and Clarke — came up behind her.

Taken into custody shortly after the robbery, Clarke and Bracey had Skellington's cellphone with them.

During an interview with police, Clarke said Bracey is her boyfriend. She said they were walking when she heard him tell Skellington to give him her phone and "all her stuff." Police said Bracey grabbed Skellington by the arm.

When Skellington handed over her purse, Bracey gave it to Clarke. Clarke told police she took the cash inside.

In an interview with police, Bracey told officers to "tell the girl he was sorry." When police asked which girl, Bracey said the "one who had her stuff taken."

"[Bracey] stated he did something really stupid and couldn't take it back and wanted to know how long he'd be in jail," according to police.
